Katy Perry Shines on New Cover of VOGUE

Katy Perry is proving that blondes do have more fun, as she covers the May issue of VOGUE magazine.

The singer sat down with the magazine to discuss her new ‘do, her upbringings and what she has in store next!

Perry on re-calibrating her life:

“It’s a nice place to be,” she says of her age. “I love it! I wouldn’t give anything to go back to my 20s; I’m so much more grounded. And I’ve learned a lot of lessons—patience, the art of saying no, that everything doesn’t have to end in marriage. That your education can start now. I blasted off on a rocket, holding on for dear life.”

On how ‘messages’ play a role in her life:

“I’ve seen behind the curtain,” she says, “and I can’t go back. I used to be the queen of innuendo, everything done with a wink,” she adds. “Now I want to be the queen of subtext—which is a cousin to innuendo, but it’s got more purpose.”
